Welcome back to Aurora Tech Channel. Today, I will review the IdeaFormer IR3 V1 conveyor belt printer. Earlier this year, I reviewed the original IR3, and so far, these 2 printers look very similar. They have the same linear rails on the X and Y-axis, a CR-10 style external controller box, a conveyor belt with a Nylon surface, a BMG clone dual-gear extruder with a bowden setup, and a large print volume of 250x250 by infinity for the Z axis. The major upgrade is the hotend. This printer comes with an all-metal hotend that can print at up to 290C. Another improvement is the location of the X-limit switch, so you no longer have to mirror the model in the slicer. IdeaFormer also has a hotend upgrade kit for the original IR3, so if you have the old one, you can just get the kit for around $60 to upgrade your printer.

The retail price of this printer is around $700, and in this price range, this is probably the conveyor belt printer that comes with the best hardware and the largest print volume. I would like to thank IdeaFormer for sending me this machine to review, and with that, let’s get started.
